Yup. I lost it when I saw Venus crying.

[geddymonster]

At least she lost to someone respectful.

[fridayteenage]

hmm, who's left to root for on the women's side?

 

i suppose asians + slam finalist Coco Gauff

?-ra Kvitová says hello.

[Gui Blackout]

Still think she's playing next year lol but we'll see

 

Not much to say, the tennis spoke for itself - as always. If it's really the end, it was hell of a way to go.

[Gui Blackout]

Man, watching this made me realize I'm not even close of being ready to see Rafa retire too. I will be absolute sobbing, depressed MESS

 

It's surreal to see these players go. I've been watching them since I was a kid. It's hard to picture tennis without them.

[Marla Singer]

I'm glad Serena didn't go down without a fight. Thanks for everything, legend.

My earliest tennis memories are of Venus, Serena, Roger, and Rafa. Tennis will really be upended when they’re all gone.

that match was so nerve-wracking! i got so stressed i had my hands over my eyes because i just couldn’t take it anymore lol, but very well-played to both.

 

couldn’t help but cry when venus cried. serena has had a legendary career longer than i’ve been alive it’s so hard to believe it’s over!

if you're trying to say i'm racist because i'm supporting people from my parents' nation, that says more about you than me, xoxo 

 

 

 

 

ANYWAY...per wiki, after the williams sisters, the biggest female slam winner still on the circuit is Osaka, currently #44 and super spotty since she said she wanted to avoid speaking to the press. I wonder if she might end up a 20something retiree like Miss Barty.

 

[Sensation]

I went to the open Wednesday and Thursday.  Saw Serena's match against Anett and her and Venus practicing.  Another highlight was seeing the Tsitsipas brothers play doubles!

 

I'm not too upset with Serena.  I'm glad she went out on her own terms and she seemed happy in her post match presser.

[Gui Blackout]

Whew my girls delivered

 

Sad for Garbi cause she was finally playing great this week, but LFG P3tra

[geddymonster]

?-ra ending Garbiñe’s mini resurgence.

Petra is just so incredible. Happy to see her win. Muguruza is equally incredible.

Looking forward to Medvedev vs Kyrgios tonight

Should be a mess, and I'm here for it!

[Jamie321]

Medvedev OUT

[buutterr]

US Open has been sooo entertaining so far! Rooting for King Kyrgios and Collins/CoCo. Apparently Alcaraz and Ruud have a chance to hit #1...they would need to win the tournament right?

[nooniebao]

 

 

 

[skyandground]

Medvedev isn't at his best right now. He was unable to exploit NK's weakness so many times in this match

Last year's Meddy would be able to neutralize NK's game today

 

Hopefully Meddy will bounce back after this difficult season

 

 

Where is Djokovic when you need him the most? I'm afraid Nadal in his current form won't be able to block NK

 

[Sensation]

I want Carlos to win his first slam, or Rafa..
